Time to Change

A commitment to removing the stigma of mental
health issues has seen the university sign the Time to Change pledge.

Run by leading charities, Mind and Rethink
Mental Illness, Time to Change is
England's biggest programme for challenging mental health stigma and
discrimination.

Anne Poulson, Chief Operating Officer, signed
the pledge on behalf of Greenwich (pictured). She says: "By signing we are making clear
our determination to ending the stigma around mental health issues.

"We are fully committed to creating an
inclusive environment at Greenwich so staff and students can achieve their
potential.

"There is already much good work done at the
university in this area but the Time to
Change pledge formalises what is already in place, as well as highlighting
new initiatives. These include better training for staff so they are better
able to help those with mental health issues."

The pledge has been
put together by the Student Wellbeing Mental Health team, the Students' Union
and colleagues from across the university.
